is this an official FDA account?

one of the entities responsible for limiting access to ivm packaged for human consumption, driving people to take more risky animal formulations?

seriously, y'all. Stop it.
as far as I can tell, the risk, by the way has entirely to do with the user needing to precisely measure out a correct weight-adjusted dose themselves.
this, needless to say, is not medical advice. and neither is what the FDA is flippantly shitting out above.
it's information. just not the kind of information consistent with the pretense of the FDA's mission

Can you take a look at this @EduEngineer?

thread: The Rounding the Earth substack contains the claim "Even worse, we know that vaccine deaths seem to be automatically classified as COVID-19 deaths". roundingtheearth.substack.com/p/how-underrep…
This claim is based on the following paper: researchgate.net/publication/35…
The paper examined 250 death reports. It says:
"all 250 people in this interim collection were reported as COVID-19 deaths. This means that all [...] are erroneously counted in the officially reported national COVID-19 death tally."

as a layperson, under what circumstances might it be reasonable to be skeptical about the claims of a majority of experts on a subject?

when the incentive structure in that domain is broken
when the 'consensus view' is the product of social engineering; expert dissenters institutionally excluded for plausibly political reasons

when continued gov funding and/or career opportunity looks like it depends on having advanced the 'consensus view'
when you notice that counter-evidence is reflexively dismissed; institutional messaging pretends it doesn't exist. uncertainties not acknowledged.

wait. the post-vaccination magnetism was real?
relatively low confidence in the veracity of this. but watching: orwell.city/2021/06/graphe…
"We have observed weak super paramagnetism and hysteresis in the samples of both GO (graphene oxide) and RGO due to presence of functionalized groups and other defects in the layered carbon structures.

The site cryptoart.wtf by Memo Akten (@memotv) claims to report the ecological footprint of cryptoart NFTs. But the calculation it’s based on is not valid; we can’t legitimately derive an ecological footprint cost per unit of gas in the way it tries to.

thread
On this page memoakten.medium.com/analytics-the-… Memo explains how the energy cost of a piece of crypto art is calculated on the site. The calculation depends on adding up the gas costs of all transactions associated with the artwork being analysed.
He writes:
“Since the energy required and footprint of mining a block is independent of its contents and number of transactions, the Gas required by a transaction is representative of the portion of a block’s footprint it will incur

hear me out
a video metadata standard designed to allow creators to mint (tradable) patronage NFTs corresponding to a predefined number of patron slots per video. the current NFT holder is credited in-frame (via player overlay elements) by supporting players.

cc @LBRYcom
+ smart contract (suite?) for minting & transferring this kind of NFT. contracts allow buyers to specify how they'd like to be credited (‼️moderation concerns) and transfers some % of trade price to the creator each time such an NFT changes hands (‼️what if the creator's dead?)

if i had a penny for each time i've been told "a free market could only work if people were perfectly rational" i'd have about three pounds. that's altogether too much.

1/n
it gets things back to front. one of the biggest virtues of a free market is its robustness and anti-fragility. all it needs are plain old *approximately rational* people to give constantly improving results.
a key reason: on a free market gains from choosing well and costs of choosing badly apply in large part to the chooser. he's well incentivised to consider carefully. this is v different to the incentives that choosers face under repdem voting contests.
